Please press and hold the button (located in the lower left and/or right of your keyboard in the same row as your spacebar normally) and then tap or press the letter (on your keyboard's bottom row) to minimize all open windows (pretty much EVERYTHING on your screen) to the desktop of your computer. It is going to annoy all of the old timers like myself that have been doing this in Word Documents, Browsers, and other apps throughout the years. However I kind of found a small hack to be able to at least accomplish this outside of the Microsoft Windows Settings. So, after researching everything, I was unable to find a REAL answer to "Where in the Windows 10, Settings, Do I Resize My Screen to Less Than 100% or Just Plain 100" question. I have also been looking for how to accomplish this as I find these large icons and text to be EXTREMELY ANNOYIING!

I could easily live with half of that, thus allowing me to fit four times as much stuff on my desktop. The line spacing in Explorer, Settings, and other programs is large- like 20 pixels. But I bought them because I wanted to see more stuff, not because I wanted to see bigger stuff. Now, I realize that these aren't the highest-resolution monitors available. Windows's fonts are huge on this display. Is there any way to make text, apps, and other items smaller? I suppose those are for visually-impaired people. Thanks anyhow, Settings → System → Display, there's an option called “Scale and layout”: “Change the size of text, apps, and other items,” it says.

Sadly, the answer there does not seem to work for recent builds of Windows 10.

Update: My question is indeed a duplicate of Scale < 100% on Windows 10 (I did search before posting, but hadn't found this question).
